7.B. Fuel bids
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
For the past ten to fifteen years we have paid for our gas and diesel from Frenchman Valley and later Scott's and Jay Bird Express based on a fixed amount above the board prices. Frenchman Valley delivers to the bus barn and until last spring we paid at the pump in Stratton. The last part of this spring we had portable tanks in Stratton, near the shop, supplied and filled by Sapp Brothers.
We are seeking bids for the entire year of fuel for the district, 8,000 gallons of gas and 15,000 gallons of diesel. This represents a change back to the "old" way of doing business. Both sides take a risk when in this process, but for us we will know our exact fuel cost. The preliminary quotes from vendors would be less than we paid this past year. We expect bids returned from: Bosselman, Frenchman Valley, Jay Bird Express, Sapp Brothers and Stratton Coop. We are also trying to package tanks at no cost for Stratton as part of this deal.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to accept the low bid from ______ in the amount of $____per gallon for 8000 gallons of E-10NL and $____ per gallon for 15,000 gallons of clear #2 Diesel. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

7.E. Activity admission prices
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Rationale:
From our earlier discussions this spring we would recommend changing single game admission prices to home events to $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for students. We would also recommend eliminating the family game admission.

Current admission prices are: single game adult $4.00, student $3.00 and family $8.00; season adult $50, student $20 and family $90. The schools in the RPAC, based on this springs discussion will be changing (or have changed) to $5 and $4.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to set activity admission prices as follows:
Single event:
Adult $5.00
Student $4.00
